Guard Patrol Pro

Guard Patrol Pro is cloud security patrol software for verifying rounds through checkpoint scans, GPS, and timestamps, with live status for supervisors. Checkpoints can use QR codes or NFC tags, and the homepage says GPS geofencing is available on every plan. Teams can assign routes, schedule guards automatically, and record shift attendance with GPS verification. Guards can submit incident reports with photos and notes, with GPS and timestamp evidence attached to the round. A one-tap SOS alert is included, and supervisors can receive real-time missed-checkpoint alerts. Automated daily patrol, attendance, and incident reports are emailed to agency owners and site managers. The Android app can keep working without a signal and sync when connectivity returns. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web, though the homepage labels the iOS app as coming soon. Pricing is listed from $15/mo with a 15-day trial. Enterprise plans include API access and custom integrations; plan support ranges from email support to 24/7 support and a dedicated manager.

Guard Patrol Pro brings checkpoint verification, scheduling, incident reporting, and supervisor alerts into a patrol-management system. It has a 15-day trial, with paid plans starting at $15/mo.

Guard Patrol Pro suits contract security companies and teams managing patrols at facilities, properties, retail, hospitality, education, construction, residential, corporate, or industrial sites. Supervisors can use it to monitor rounds and receive reports and alerts.

Overview

Guard Patrol Pro is cloud software for documenting security patrols, shifts, and incidents. It suits contract security firms and organizations coordinating guards across multiple sites. Its breadth is appealing, though the lack of a continuing free plan and the Android app’s data deletion disclosure deserve close consideration.

Key features

Guards verify rounds by scanning QR codes or NFC tags; GPS geofencing is included on every plan. Route assignment, automated scheduling, and GPS-verified shift attendance give managers a connected view of patrol work and timekeeping. That is useful when a team needs records tied to both checkpoints and shifts, but may be more system than a small operation needs.

Incident reports can include photos and notes, with GPS and timestamps linked to the round. Guards also have a one-tap SOS alert, while supervisors can receive real-time missed-checkpoint alerts. Daily patrol, attendance, and incident reports go by email to agency owners and site managers, making routine client and management updates part of the workflow.

Offline operation lets the app continue without a signal and sync when connectivity returns, which matters at sites with weak coverage. GPS runs only during active shifts, guards can see when they are on duty, and location history follows a configured retention policy. However, Google Play says location and personal information may be shared with third parties and that data cannot be deleted. Those disclosures may make the product a poor fit for organizations with strict deletion requirements.

Enterprise adds API access and custom integrations for sending patrol, attendance, and incident data to existing security or HR platforms. That can help larger teams fold the system into established processes; smaller teams may not need that tier.

Pricing

The Free plan costs $0 and covers one site and one guard, with basic reports and mobile app access. It includes a 15-day trial, so it is a limited evaluation rather than a lasting free option for a working team.

Starter costs $15 per month or $144 per year for three sites and 20 guards, all features, email support, and basic analytics. It is the entry point for a small operation that needs the full feature set, though its support is less responsive than the higher tiers.

Professional costs $40 per month or $384 per year for eight sites and 50 guards, priority support, and advanced analytics. It suits a growing team that needs more capacity and stronger reporting. Enterprise costs $70 per month or $672 per year for 15 sites and 100 guards, 24/7 support, and a dedicated manager, alongside API access and custom integrations. Teams beyond those site or guard caps should confirm their fit before choosing a plan.

Platforms

Guard Patrol Pro is offered on Android, iOS, and the web. The vendor links to an Android app, while its homepage labels the iOS app as coming soon. The Google Play listing says the app works offline and syncs after connectivity returns.

Who it's for

The product fits contract security companies, facility and property managers, and teams at retail, hospitality, education, construction, residential, corporate, and industrial sites. Its combination of checkpoint verification, attendance, incident evidence, and emailed reports is most useful when supervisors need a consistent record across several guards or locations. A team needing only basic check-ins may find the paid plans and wider workflow unnecessary.

Pros and cons

• Pros: QR and NFC verification plus GPS geofencing on every plan provide several ways to document rounds.
• Pros: Scheduling, GPS attendance, incident evidence, SOS, and missed-checkpoint alerts cover day-to-day supervision in one system.
• Pros: Offline use with later sync supports patrols where connectivity is unreliable.
• Cons: The $0 plan is capped at one site and one guard and lasts only 15 days, so it is not a permanent free tier.
• Cons: Google Play says location and personal information may be shared with third parties and data cannot be deleted, a material concern for some organizations.
• Cons: Although iOS is presented as a platform, the vendor describes its app as coming soon.

Alternatives

Security Guard Software is a useful starting point for comparing patrol-management options. Choose GuardConnect if a freemium option with Android, iOS, and web access and a free allowance of one to 10 officers is a priority.

guardtour.app may suit a team that can work within a free plan of five checkpoints, one site, and 30-day history, with QR and NFC verification and unlimited controllers. GuardTrac is worth considering for a small team looking for a free tier with up to five users, one client location, live guard tracking, shift management, and a client dashboard.

Security Guard App offers a free-forever single-user plan, which better fits an individual than a multi-guard operation. ActivitySuite starts at $99 a month for 250 sessions, so it is a higher-cost option for teams whose needs fit a session-based plan.

ZOOY Patrol is another paid patrol software option. PatrolLIVE has a free plan and a paid plan starting at $89 a month, making it a candidate for readers comparing a freemium option at a higher stated monthly starting price. Guard1 is paid, offers a free trial, and includes one-time purchase options such as EasyTour Software at $$99.

Verdict

Guard Patrol Pro is a strong fit for security teams that need checkpoint proof, shift oversight, incident records, and supervisor alerts in one workflow, with plans sized up to 100 guards and 15 sites. Its 15-day trial lets teams assess that workflow before paying. Look elsewhere if a permanent free plan, a currently available iOS app, or the ability to delete data is essential.
